Tribute to Van Gogh...

7:09 p.m.

 
In 1989, the Vincent Van Gogh Foundation invited Guillermo Kuitca (Argentina, 1961) to participate in a tribute to mark the 100th Anniversary of the death of Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890), to be held in 1990. Nineteen artists from around the world were invited to offer a contemporary perspective on the Dutch artist's legacy. Kuitca created a work in dialogue with the 1888 painting The Bedroom.

 

Untitled (Homage to Van Gogh), by Guillermo Kuitca (1989)
Technique: acrylic and collage on canvas

 

In his interpretation, Kuitca maintains the image of Van Gogh's original bedroom but expands its boundaries and doubles the bed, creating a contemporary spatiality. This generates a reflection on domestic space in the past and present.
